Is there much difference in feel and shooting. between a lynx with longbow limbs on it and a. One piece whip. Thanks.
Dan,
You will definitely have a more weighty platform with the Lynx.
I have each of those bows, and my Lynx riser alone weighs as much as my Classic.
Performance wise I can not be a fair judge, as the limbs on the Lynx are 12# lighter than the Classic. I can tell you that they both shoot a quick,quiet,arrow.
Good Shooting,
Craig
I like the lynx better, as mentioned it will be heavier but still fairly light all things considered.
I like the one piece whip better but they are both great bows. Where in N.J. are you? Lefty or Righty. I could let you try my Whip. I have a HS whip with a classic grip left handed.
I have a Lynx with both recurve and longbow limbs. The longbow limbs are 64" 51@30. I also have one of Dan's T/D Whip's 64" 51@30. Your question has me thinking a little bit now. May have to pull them out and do a little head to head comparison. Both great shooting bows but completely different in design. I'm curious how they might stack up against each other in the speed category.
:dunno: :dunno: :dunno:
Lynx more mass of course. From my comparisons Whip also has a whisker more reflex in the limbs making it a tad snappier/quicker, but we're not talking much. For me, the 2pc Whip is the best of both worlds.
I have both, and prefer the Lynx. I think the heavier mass weight of the Lynx improves my accuracy. I have the Whip because sometimes I shoot in longbow tournaments where a one piece longbow is required. I'd rather shoot my Whip than any other one piece longbow I've seen, but I would still rather be shooting my Lynx.
I've shot a lynx recurve but never a longbow. I really want to. I've owned two dozen Toelkes but no longbow lynx. I need to get on it.
Thanks for the offer Greg d. . But I'm a righty looks like so far it's a toss up.
Whips have such a huge following Dan... hard to say No to..
TxAg, I have a Lynx in Dallas if you're right handed and want to shoot it.
My first whip HS should be here tomorrow. It's killing me!
I'll chime in tomorrow after I shoot the whip.
